In normal times, Pete would have resigned for a mistake like this. Today? MAGA cracks a beer for him.
I’m out of the loop. What happened?
USA government officials accidentally added a journalist into a private Signal group chat which they used to discuss war plans.
“Accidentally”
A bunch of senior white house figures, including the defence secretary and the VP, added a journalist to a group message chat about military action in Yemen
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/24/journalist-trump-yemen-war-chat
I wonder what messaging service they used.
It was signal
Just wanna be clear that this didn’t happen because of some technical flaw/vulnerability in Signal. This was completely Human Error
Signal also features auto-delete for messages. They chose not to communicate through secure channels, and are actively trying to keep their shit out of the permanent record. These fucks are actively evading paper trails and transcripts because they know full-well how indefensible their crimes are.
Would this be good publicity or bad publicity for signal?
“Even government officials think we’re secure!”
Or
“Idiots actually think signal is secure for classified information”
I think it’s gonna end up being bad. Mainly because most people are gonna hear on Fox News that this was due to some flaw in Signal, and just take that at face value. A lot of people are not gonna even read an article about why or what even happened.
